How can I make a Swift enum with UIColor value?

Question

I\'m making a drawing app and I would like to refer to my colors through use of an enum. For example, it would be cleaner and more convenient to use Colors.RedColor

Answer 1

If your color isn't one of those defined by UIColor's convenience method, you can add an extension to UIColor:

extension UIColor {
    static var firstColor: UIColor  { return UIColor(red: 1, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1) }
    static var secondColor: UIColor { return UIColor(red: 0, green: 1, blue: 0, alpha: 1) }
}

// Usage
let myColor = UIColor.firstColor
